my son needs new tires for his 92 Nissan Pathfinder. it is RWD automatic and mainly used on highways. He has a limited budget ($60-$80 per tire) what tire has the best bang for the buck?
I would check for tires in your budget on the Tire Rack or similar site. Sometimes particular brands have sales on old stock. Walmart has Cooper Discoverers in that size at 74 bucks each. That's a good deal.
235 75r15 you can still get the Goodyear Wrangler(just Wrangler not adventure or ats). There's nothing special about them but they're cheap, safe and will last 30-40k. There are tons of square body Cherokees and Ford Rangers out there driving around on those tires.
For a highway tire in Southern California, you can probably get Hankook Kinergy or Kumho Solus TA11 for around that price. They're ok tires, should be safe and last a while at least.

Walmart had a sale on these a few months ago. $50/tire. I bought 6 for my son's '87 Wrangler. 5 and a garage spare.
Looks like Walmart dot Com has this on rollback. Better order them up!!!

Discount Tire has 6 tires in his size under $85. He may have to buy used tires at his budget price. Check out the Milestar Patagonia, Kumho Road Venture or the Cooper Discoverer if he can afford new tires.

I had to buy a set of Advanta HPZ-01 (235/45/18 WR) due to a roofing nail spill on one of our local roads this past weekend. I didn't want to spend too much because of taking furlough pay-cut so Advanta it was. I got them at a franchise owned Firestone, mounted for $390 out-the-door.
I must tell you, so far.... very pleased with the purchase. Being an UHP tire, you do feel the road imperfections more, but the steady state driving is smooth and the handling is much better than the Conti's the Passat came with. They've seem just fine in the wet too. They supposed to be a 60K mile tire.
I have had good success with Ironman tires, and we usually put them on used cars at work that need tires. They are in that price range. No complaints. Their truck/"mud" tires are pretty dang good (for the price point).
I previously put a set of Douglas tires from Walmart on one of my vehicles. $47/tire, and they held up just fine. Can't remember the model though, apologies.
